For some reason mt. lion seems like eating bear to me, as for the rest of em, i think my belly button would have to be scratching my backbone for me to eat them.

Had some dog in Afghanistan.  It wasn't coyote, obviously, but the diet would have been similar.  It was edable, but I probably wouldn't pay a lot for it.  Haven't tried any of the other fine fare listed here thus far.   ;)

Never eaten one but enjoy walking into the bank when the ladies are discussing their cats. My normal response is, I like cats, but just can't eat a whole one by myself. Expressions on their faces, priceless.

Speaking of liver poisoning, I have read in several wilnderness books that shark liver can be deadly. Probably not commonplace, but most likely that acoastal archer might take a shark with a bow.One source said that a single serving could be very serious, indicating that there is a severe concentration of vitamin A in the liver. Yes, it is an essentiel nutrient, but if this source is right, it is toxic in large amounts. I have never eaten any of these predators listed, and under normal circumstances would probly pass them up. But I have eaten horse and liked it.

35 years ago, bought 5 dozen homemade tamales from a Mexican lady selling door to door. My buddy Jose swore they were from her mean Chow she'd kept chained outside her house. We never saw that dog again. Chased my tail & howled at the moon the rest of the weekend. No tamales since.

This is one reference I could find about dog liver.  I don't know where I learned originally not to eat them from predators, specifically dogs though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis_A

The liver of certain animals — including the polar bear, seal, and husky — is unsafe to eat because it is extraordinarily high in vitamin A. This danger has long been known to the Inuit and has been recognized by Europeans since at least 1597 when Gerrit de Veer wrote in his diary that, while taking refuge in the winter in Nova Zemlya, he and his men became severely ill after eating polar bear liver.[5] In 1913, Antarctic explorers Douglas Mawson and Xavier Mertz were both poisoned, the latter fatally, from eating the liver of their sled dogs.[6]

Vitamin A itself was not discovered until 1917.

The livers of many other animals have lower levels of vitamin A and are commonly eaten.

The only " PREDATOR" I ever ate was a "nutty" chipmunk that tried to attack me in my treestand. He ran up my leg onto my chest and straight into my startled mouth !!! He took the lower left side of my lip off as I "CHOMPED" down on his main artery in his neck. Since I used up a bunch of energy ... I figured "what the heck" and put him down the food pipe. Not bad at all !!!  :)  
Just another normal day in the Ohio woods.... Jeff

p.s. Don't ever eat one ...gave me "crazy GAS !!! Just ask my dogs !!!!

Could not get past the smell of a yote.I would have to be five minutes from starving to death before eating one.

I've eaten gar very good filet meat but there is a warning the eggs are very toxic will make you deafly ill. Spent 10 days in ICU and no I didn't eat the eggs it came from cleaning the gar. Its been hard to eat much of it now, until bowfishing starts again!

I guess the only sort of predator I've tried was raccoon. I didn't care for it...way to greasy for me.

Grilled raccoon is a mite on the greasy side, but if my long term memory is correct, it's goes down fairly easy if enough Jack Daniels is involved.

I have ate mountain lion and bobcat, both were excellent. The edge going to mountain lion, very much like pork. I have also tried raccoon, fox, bear and coyote. Did not care for any of them but would eat them again if prepared right most anything could be OK! Shawn
